Another car, that I do not know myself.

Who can prove his guess?

Here is all the information I have:

France 1924 - the source calls it the smallest closed car of the world...

Just what the world was waiting for - a mobile "iron maiden".

[grobmotorix]

A nice idea, indeed...

[Oguerrerob]

Was it published in a popular magazine?

[grobmotorix]

I have not filed the magazine name.

All I can say I found it in the internet in a scanned austrian magazine of 1924.

They say it was french at the french claim it to be "la plus petite conduite interieure du monde", the smallest closed car in the world.

Guillotinette ?

Perhaps a Gauthier.  I have no proof, but I know they made some very small tricycles.  Maybe others have some Gauthier pictures.

Let´s see...

Why do I think "Moto-Khazi" whenever I see this?   

-  OK I'll get my coat

[Oguerrerob]

Still no clue about this vehicle, but it was shown at Salon de l'Automobile, Paris 1924

[grobmotorix]

indeed...

LVM La Vie de la Moto Magazine 90-01-01 (1 January 1990)

Sorry for the belated reply - notifications don´t work any more...

Is its name LVM?

The first photo is too small and the big one does not tell me too much.

[Wendax]

LVM is just the abbreviation of the magazine's name La Vie de la Moto.

[Oguerrerob]

Sorry for the belated reply - notifications don´t work any more...

Is its name LVM?

No, I've just found another reproduction of this vehicle, but it's too small to read.

This issue is on sale now

Unfortunately, a period French article (La Vie Automobile, 25 October 1924) adds little of value (unless someone here is able to look up the patent).
